Well stop worrying. Students are now able to register for school through the World Wide Web. You can also access much of the information that you would normally need to go to records and registration to get. You can access your grades, degree evaluations, and how much tuition you owe. You can also update your address, phone number, and other student information at any time. The program which makes all this possible is called OnAccess. The program was designed by Brian Starks, UVSC computer services programmer, through a local based company called Key Process Development. UVSC is the first school in the country to implement this program. Paul Taylor, president of Key Process Development, said "It was made possible because of UVSC's progressive policy of allowing employee ownership of products created at the school." Other schools are quickJy following suit. The other eight state colleges and universities in Utah have been licensed for the system and are currently installing it into their networks. The program is also spreading outside of the state, with a school in Minnesota planning on installing the system soon. OnAccess can also be accessed through Windows. A Windows Application has been set up to where students are able to download it from the World Wide Web to the Windows Application. An easy-to-use graphical interface allows students to simply click a button and be able to register, check tuition payments, and much more. Students also have the option of printing a hard copy of their schedule right after they register. Tom Rasmussen, assistant vice president of campus computing, said they hope that in the near future students will be able to access even more information, like financial aid information. A live demonstration of OnAccess is available at www. keyprocess.com . UVSC Degrees Ahead Aric Bills News Writer UVSC is now offering an associate of applied science degree in multimedia technology. Multimedia, as one professional put it, is "the combination of text, graphics, audio, video, and animation on a computer." Multimedia is a relatively new field where the demand for trained professionals is steadily increasing. A recent survey conducted by the UVSC Mountainland Applied Technology Center found the need for multimedia technicians to be about 5.85 on a scale of 10 (ten being high). Average salary for these professionals ranges from $22,000 to $28,500 per year. But in a March 29.USA Today article which listed "Multimedia Software Designer" at the top of a list of the "Ten Best Jobs", it claimed a potential salary of $100,000. UVSC's multimedia program is the only one of its kind currently offered in the state of Utah and in the Intermountain Region. The program is interdisciplinary, and many classes toward the degree will come from existing departments such as Electronics and Computer Technology, Computer Multimedia, continued on page 1 Solving Utah highway problems a big proposition Rebecca McGettigan News Editor As it is very apparent when driving between Weber County and Utah County on Interstate 15, transportation is becoming a major issue for Utah. As a continually growing state, Utah is experiencing many traffic and congestion problems. Governor Mike Leavilt and other State Government officials have recently been trying to solve this problem. Governor Leavitt recently met with many state and government officials from Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah Counties to propose and discuss plans for a new north and south highway corridor to run through the most populated areas of Utah. Governor Leavitt commented, "As Utah continues to grow, the need for an alternate route through our busies) area becomes apparent. This is not just about making room tor cars, it's also about shaping our state lor the future. It's about looking ahead to preserve the quality of our lives in Utah. This is a big picture, long term proposal" Most will know that not too far in the future Utah faces the challenge of the 2002 Olympic Winter ( lames, and along with that, the traf fic problems. As has been seen in Atlanta, it will be no easy feat to solve the traffic problems that are. bound to occur. The proposed highway would run from Nephi to Ogden, running somewhere near 5600 West in Salt Lake County. Funding for a road like this has already been put aside as of last December's Growth Summit.
